Dreams of Violets

About this title

Tehran, January 2026. Inspired by real events from 47 years of Iranian civilian resistance, through the eyes of five strangers, Dreams of Violets brings protest footage to life with raw immediacy. At dawn, as Iranian forces execute wounded protesters, one soldier discovers five hiding in a dead-end alley. Above them, Amir, a child in a wheelchair, watches from a window and decides to act.
